contents Given two real symmetric matrices, their eigenvalue configuration is the relative arrangement of their eigenvalues on the real line. In this paper, we consider the following problem: given two parametric real symmetric matrices and an eigenvalue configuration, find a simple condition on the parameters such that their eigenvalues have the given configuration. We give an algorithm which expresses the eigenvalue configuration problem as a real root counting problem of certain symmetric polynomials, whose roots can be counted using the Fundamental Theorem of Symmetric Polynomials and Descartes' rule of signs.
